Would these work for storing mixed paint? Has anyone ever used them for that?

Not if you wish to store the paint for a long time, these will likely let the paint dry out as there is no air tight seal. Also, these would hold an incredible small amount of paint... BUT maybe if you put a little plastic wrap over the top before you screw the lid on, it would keep the paint a bit better :)

It wouldn't be that much paint. They could hold paint but it will not be that much in them.

I did not use these for paint. I use them to store beads and they work very well for very small beads but they were much smaller than I anticipated. They wouldn't hold much paint I don't think. They were very tiny. But as I mentioned, I didn't get them for paint. I think if it was me, I would go a size bigger.

Not very well. I now use mine to store wood shop stuff. They are a heavy duty zip lock bag. But you never vacuum seal any thing in them for a long amount of time. I will not buy them again

I have not used that area for storing anything but I think a bottle of nail polish will fit, depending on the shape of it. There would be room for two. Polish and base coat!

I would not use them for canvas paintings, especially if they are quite large and have heavier frames. It's a personal preference. If the framed canvas has any value at all, I would recommend using picture hanging hardware that fits the size of the job. The main way I use these is for putting up product pictures in our home office.

Testors paints fit fine, fitting 20 jars per row. I bought it for storing the Tamiya 10ml (1/3 oz) model paints, and it works perfectly for that, holding 14 jars per row. Model Master 14.7 ml and Humbrol tins fit fine as well.

Yes! Definitely would recommend for storage. I have them in a large but tasteful TV Entertainment Center that has doors which provides substantial storage while I have Fenton Art Glass and/or LLadros on top. Also, they stack well below clothing racks and on shelves for my closet which provides substantial amount of storage while easy to see what is in the container and easy access. I like the individual stacking best!

Yes, it's excellent for storing art supplies. So good in fact, that I bought another one for my supplies. I like be able to slide these into a bookshelf and of course, the portability is another nice feature. I don't use these to store construction paper though; you may have to buy a larger model to accomplish that.

I would imagine so. They are quite sturdy and durable. (although I have never made either personally, and am not sure if you need some special requirement for them to be stored in)

I would not, they are silk screened on burlap. I would be afraid either the paint would fade, or the burlap would shrink. I would hand wash.

I only use them for dry storage. Am using 5 gallon storage bottles from Academy Sports.

What did you put into the tubes?? I used mine for bead storage, so mine are still as clear as the day I bought them 6 months ago. They are plastic, and so will react with chemicals/paints that are put into them.

They are not fancy so if you are looking to store something for yourself they would be fine. If you are looking to store and sell, these are probably not the containers for that. Hope this helps.

I use my paint cups in a classroom and have had no trouble with paint drying out. I only cover the cups during the weekend and holidays when there is no school. I am not sure about long term storage, but I would not store paint in the cups as a permanent storage because they are not meant for that use.

I suppose you could store those things in this product, but the shelves are shallow and made for polishes. This would be better modified for pallet storage than brush storage.

Just a thought but - the lid that closes the cups is a snap on one and the non-spill top is a nice fit screw on. I don't think a closed one (with both lids) would be great for long term storage of paint since it probably is not air tight. But you could put a cork in the hole in the concave non-spill lid and shake to mix paint without getting paint all over the snap on lid. I really don't think these cups would work all that great for long term paint storage. Just a thought.

Yes. I use them for baking storage of salt, baking powder and soda. Easier than dragging the original retail boxes out.

I think these would be great for acrylic paint. The opening is small so you wouldn't get too much, but the bottles are a softer squeezable plastic so you could easily squeeze them to get the amount you needed without the stiffer plastic suddenly giving under pressure and too much being dispensed too quickly. I think they'd be a good choice for you.
